"...Will conservatives do a Wyatt Earp and tell the FBI Johnny Behans..."

In short, the answer is no, fellow conservatives will NOT do a Wyatt Earp.
Plenty of conservatives have great families, nice friends, terrific well-compensated jobs, and delightful homes.

There will be no door-to-door arrests. Gunowners will just simply find themselves with frozen bank accounts, non-functional credit cards, and disconnected water, electricity, and natural gas / oil, and discontinued medicine delivery until requested firearms are submitted.

There is perhaps one-quarter of 1% of the U.S. population that has the training, acreage, and supplies to live "off-the-grid" for any meaningful length of time. See articles under keyword "digital gulag" to see that we are in precarious times.

Thanks for the Ping Blue Jay.

As I see it, right now the ONLY REASON that most of the US has not descended into a living hell run by street gangs is because our side is ARMED. Take away our weapons, and we’ll have as much chance against them as the freedom fighters in Hong Kong or the Weegars in Western China (although they are terrorists).

And the reason we’re still armed is due to our LAWS, laws that allow us to buy guns, go to the range, carry them (in most places), and defend ourselves with them. Once those laws are gone, our guns turn radioactive. Sure they’ll still hold bullets and kill bad guys, but they’ll also throw us in jail, if we’re caught with them. They will look a lot different to us, once we’re the ones getting 10 to 20 years for defending ourselves, while our attackers get off scott-free.

And that’s before ‘they’ even start putting the squeeze on us. We ‘think’ we’re ready for them. But looking at the posts here, we clearly ARE NOT READY. Very often you’ll see someone here saying that they’ll say they lost their guns in a ‘boating accident’. Cute, but what happens when it goes like this:

FBI: We have an FFL document showing that you purchased a Glock 19, Serial Number 123XYZ on May 17, 2017. Why haven’t you registered it?

YAHOO: Oh, (snicker), I lost it in a boating accident, so it’s gone.

FBI: Did you report it missing?

YAHOO: No, that’s not required here in Texas.

FBI: Ok, but in lieu of registering the gun, you need to fill out a Form 578D declaring that the gun is missing, with the understanding that should you recover the gun, you WILL register it.

That’s the hook. If the gun ever shows up in your possession or in the possession of someone close to you, you have a lot of explaining to do (along with a lot of jail time), if the additional paperwork has not been completed (i.e., registration).

Bottom line is that it is THE LAWS and THE JUDGES who interpret those laws who protect us. Without them, we’re sitting ducks, with the government looking for one slip-up (maybe you had that gun on your table when a policeman come to your door after you, or your wife, reported a crime, for example). There are a lot of Yahoos here...but the vast majority will fold, once they figure out how powerless they are against a government that hates them, and now has the law on their side to PUNISH them.

And that is why our side must NEVER let them get that power over us...and if it means electing RINOs (yet again) over Democrats, then so be it. And if people on our side can’t get that through their sick heads, then they deserve EXACTLY what’s in store for them, and it won’t be pretty.
